Running instructions

To run this app locally, clone the directory

git clone https://github.com/TheFearlessMagicians/Woof.git

Notice

To run with google maps and mailgun email notifications, create a directory in the root called /credentials with a file credentials.js in it with all your API key's needed. This includes Google Maps API key, and the mailgun API key (for email notifications of users).

In credentials.js:

 module.exports = {"mailgun":"YOUR MAILGUN KEY HERE",
                              "gmaps":"YOUR GOOGLE MAPS DEVELOPER KEY HERE"
   ```                 };
